• Punch 2 holes at the top
• Put a string through the holes or use tape
• Hang on lamp post or trees along your street 10 per street highly effective (don’t heart our trees with pins please)

Other places

Libraries, shops, surgeries, schools, clubs, community centres and anywhere else you may think of. We need those posters on every street! If your street don't have them it means you still need to do it!

Hand out A6 leaflets  (same information)          

If you print 10 of the multicpzmeeting.pdf , you will have 40 leaflets to hand out, put in shops, GP surgeries, hair dressers or simply hand out to other parents on the school run. Feel free to be creative.

If every GreenN8 member did it just that we will have over 4000 street posters and 16,000 leaflets handed out. That is impressive!

What can we do?

Since Haringey are trying hard to conceal the fact that there is a consultation going on, we are once again on a mission to inform the wider community of what is going on. There are so many CPZ consultations all at the same time, and as expected Haringey ignores the fact that some of them overlap in places, creating a need for wider consultation.

The ‘divide and rule’ exercise has failed! As groups from all over the borough are coming together to respond to these proposals and make sure a democratic process takes place and the views of the majority is a determining force!


Sounds like a lot of hard work

We can accomplish rather a lot if we all take part in a small way. Working in small teams is both manageable and has a great by product - working closer together builds great new friendships. So if you feel strongly about this don't be shy and join us in this campaign.

GreenN8 in coordination with MORRSH, SGRA and Crouch End resident groups would be working together to take things forward while resident groups in Muswell Hill, Fortis Green and Bounds Green are doing the same.


Gathering information and informing the wider community

Learning from past consultations of CPZ's not far from the current proposals, and given the fact that this is a 'summer holiday consultation', and taking into account that consultation leaflets did not reach over 60% of people, we conclude that this consultation is aimed to exclude a lot of people who will be greatly effected by the proposals!

Consultation leaflets DO NOT TELL PEOPLE THE TRUTH on why the scheme is introduced and consulted on, nor does it tell us the true impact it will have, financially, socially or parking wise! So our first port of call is to:

• Inform people what is going on, and provide truthful information on the effect the CPZ would have on their lives.
• Encourage everyone to form an informed view, whatever that may be.
• Encourage all to part take by responding to the consultation and expressing their views!

Can we trust the results of a severally flawed consultation?

In lower Stroud Green Haringey have managed to imposed a CPZ, despite opposing majority! When asked about the result of the consultation, by a local councillor, officers said the majority wanted it. But we found evidence that states other wise. We also discovered that this going on is not unique and that in other places people had to recount consultation forms to discover that forms which where very much in opposition, where counted as a Yes vote.

If we can't trust Haringey's consultation process it is a priority that we find out what people want ourselves. Encourage and help people to fill in the official consultation form. Doing so will ensure we have independent and extensive information which is accurate and inclusive!

Our survey forms are simple but will give us valuable information like

• Did people get a consultation leaflet
• What are their views on the proposal
• Do they have parking problem?
• Do they wish to have a CPZ in their street / area
• How many cars they own

You can download the form from the links on the right

Writing to your MP and local councillors

Writing to your local councillors as they looking to gage public opinion. However it is not our local councillors that we have to apply pressure on, but rather the councillors who will make the decision! Getting our local councillors on board is useful for the same reason that they too can apply pressure on the decision makers to follow a democratic process.
